"What are the chances Iran would actually launch a nuclear attack? History suggests they're zero, no matter what Senator Graham says. No country in the so-called Axis of Evil' has ever deployed a nuke, because doing so would be an act of suicide. In fact, the United States is the only nation to unleash its nuclear might as an act of war. It's strange how Washington considers that a point of pride."
"Could the Iranians obtaining The Bomb wind up being a good thing? Whether anyone in the foreign policy establishment admits it, North Korea's nuclearization has undeniably stabilized the Korean Peninsula. The region has seen no wars, coups, or interventionist-forced regime changes since 2006. Would Iran becoming a nuclear power have the same effect on its region? Could it finally prompt America to leave the area alone, and incentivize Israel to drop its stated goal of controlling the Gaza Strip and the West Bank?"
Tucker Carlson argued that Iranian nuclearization could stabilize the Middle East, invoking North Korea as an example of a nuclearized state deterring wars and coups since 2006. He asserted that Iran would be unlikely to launch a nuclear attack and suggested possession of a bomb might deter U.S. and Israeli intervention and reduce regime vulnerability to foreign decapitation attempts. The argument followed reports of Iranian security forces killing thousands of pro-democracy protesters and provoked widespread criticism from political figures and commentators, including Sen. Ted Cruz. Carlson's guests and recent commentary have moved further from GOP foreign-policy orthodoxy, intensifying scrutiny of his views amid his increased proximity to White House circles.
